What defines Greek cooking

Greek cooking builds on a small set of staples treated simply: extra virgin olive oil, lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs like oregano and parsley form the backbone of most dishes, while tomato and onion anchor the vegetable base. Cooking techniques favor grilling, slow braising, and oven-roasting over heavy sauces, letting the ingredients speak for themselves. A home cook exploring this cuisine will find a rhythm of bright acidity, savory herbs, and shared, unfussy dishes meant for the table.
